Import Tips

• Verify saffron authenticity with lab testing certificates to comply with 21 U.S.C. 41 prohibiting impure tea (applicable standards for spices); impure saffron risks seizure

• Provide detailed harvest and origin documentation, as saffron from certain regions may qualify for duty preferences under trade agreements

• Avoid packaging over 2.3 kg net if using containers dutiable separately; smaller tea-like spice packs may trigger container duties unless from listed free-duty origins
